Depends if you want an easy one to practice harder stuff on it or a hard one just to clear it or a crazy one (like a ^ Y rail), and if you're good or not.

hey Newskoolkavana when you heated up the PCV to bend it did it become any weaker do you think, also what size PVC did you use?





If I could I would, but I can't. Now shut the hell up.

you con't need to heat it !!! just go buy PVC conduit. it is greay and can bend. get 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch. make a wooden frame then screw it on. it bends so no heating is involved. it slides like a charm. i have done it.

Once again you don't need a form of heat, as long as u can make a sutry frame to screw the pvc to. just use PVC conduit. it is flexible.

Im thinking of making a 30 foot flat down flat rail, but how would i join the PVC pieces and still keep the transition between pieces smooth and slideable.




If I could I would, but I can't. Now shut the hell up.

just make the flat drop down about 1/4 inch to the down so u can't feel it. and u have to have a hill for that rail, unless u make it like 8 feet tall. i suggest making it 2 pieces. and i would make 10 feet flat to 15 down. and make the flat part at a slant actually. like 3 feet on one end and 1 on the other, then when u put it on a hil, with the lil end in the front, it is flat. then just make a 15 foot flat rail that is 3 feet tall. that will be the down part. any questions? a know it is sorta confusing, but just read it.

no PVC does not make you catch 'hardcore edges' .. unless you can't grind

next winter i've planned out a rail to rail gap.. each rail is a 10 foot long shotgun, hand crafted with 2x4 and PVC piping.. one will incline 1ft and the other will decline a 1ft.. and the gap will be 4-5ft

yeah, if i could have a single rail in my backyard, besides a plain old flat rail, i'd have a dragontail. Just make a flat rail, and at the last 6-7 feet, make it curve up into a nice little kick.

well, you already have the flat rail and the kink for practicing tech tricks on like switch ups and spins. i say make a rail super hard to clear. make a fucking flat up flat down flat up rail.

get creative..do a a-frame to flat or a flat to a-frame. that'd be pretty sick looking.
